What other backup options are there?To ensure the data on your computer or laptop isn’t lost, you can use the included ShareCenter Sync Backup software for Windows machines or Time Machine for Macs. In addition to securing an off-site backup for any files stored the NAS drive via an external USB drive, you can setup and integrate your Amazon S3 or Google Drive account to this ShareCenter. A full or incremental backup can be scheduled, so you have a constant backup of files stored on this NAS drive completely off-site.

Another way of building a contingency plan for the data on this NAS drive is to enable a RAID configuration (JBOD, RAID 0 and RAID 1 is available). RAID 0 splits the data stored evenly across the two drives and therefore limits the storage space to twice the size of the smallest hard drive. RAID 1 uses one of the hard drives as storage and the other is used as a mirror for redundancy. If one of the first hard drive fails the other can be used as a primary storage drive until the failed one is replaced.

What can I use to remotely access this NAS drive?Downloading and uploading files, deleting files/folders from your NAS drive and checking the status of the ShareCenter can be done remotely from the mydlink internet portal. Alternatively, if you would to view pictures or stream music and videos to your iOS or Android device you can do so with the mydlink Access-NAS app. You can download files through the app to your smart device to send to someone or to watch later. Music, movies and pictures can be uploaded and backed up to the ShareCenter, saving you space on your smartphone or tablet.

To further improve on the ShareCenter there are built-in applications such as My Music, My Files, My Photos, P2P downloads and My Surveillance. This allows you to manage your P2P downloads, view your pictures, stream your music and access your files. Whereas My Surveillance lets you record and manage videos from mydlink cloud cameras. Other third party apps can be installed to improve functionality even further, such as Logitech Squeezebox Server, Transmission, Wordpress, phpMyAdmin, phpBB and more.

What can I stream to?The built-in DLNA/UPnP and iTunes media server lets you stream your media collection to any compatible media player. This could be D-Link’s Boxee Box, a game console, a smart TV or a radio, which is connected to the same network as the NAS drive. It also supports multiple simultaneous streams, so you can watch a movie on your TV, while someone else listens to music streamed through to their radio.

What other features are there?You can be guaranteed confidentiality and integrity of any files stored on this NAS drive by creating and giving specific users or groups read/write permissions to certain folders. This ideal if you want to make sure that nobody deletes your files by accident. An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) can also be connected to monitor power levels and protects your data in the event of a power failure.
